PROJECT OVERVIEW
Major urban development requires extreme measures to identify those impacted by construction—and sometimes lots of data tracking.
The Filmore Project is a new seven-story apartment complex that rises out of a vacant site in downtown Phoenix, which also included creating a new street in the neighborhood. The amenity-rich complex features curbside public parking, sidewalks, and additional lighting that improves safety and visibility at night.

THE CHALLENGE
Every project has its challenges, and this project had its fair share, from finding residential addresses to listening to their concerns.
Downtown Phoenix is quickly being redeveloped, and many single family homes are being converted into duplexes and then into apartments. Many are in severe states of disrepair and units don’t always have numbers on them. For this project, a number of buildings were condemned and deemed untenable, others empty, and the YPMO team couldn’t always reach an owner.
As a result, YPMO went to the complexes in person to determine which units were vacant and record property addresses.
One apartment complex had even changed its numbering scheme during construction, which meant team members had to change all of those addresses in the mailing list.
“Places that undergo major redevelopment are chaotic, and they often lack any sort of standard for addressing,” says Salais. “It’s a complicated process to notify impacted residents.”
One resident repeatedly sent emails to his Phoenix councilmember, addressing the construction noise. He would not accept a phone call or let YPMO know where he lived, and as Salais explained, “it turned out he was complaining about a completely different project, not ours.” This put the project at risk due to Phoenix’ sensitivity to noise complaints.
